I wasn't blaming anyone for misunderstanding. I agree that I didn't explain myself very well, I usually don't. :-) I was just letting Sherry know that my gliders are not thrilled over eating just the "Glider Food" and that I try to pick a variety from the things that I listed. They, of course don't get all of those things every night. I only mentioned the Rep-Cal, because as soon as I can find some, I will be using it (I've heard good things about it). I try to not let my babies get bored. I tried to list everything that I have tried on them so far and some of my supplement practices, but I made it sound like I give them all of that stuff every night. I am really baffled about the constipation, cause the stuff I feed them every night would give me "loose bowels" :-) Fruit, fruit, and more fruit. :-)
Sorry I was misleading. :-)

: Tanya I understand what you are saying about being misunderstood but these are your EXACT words on your posting:::
: " Each night I feed them a different variety of things (i.e. thawed out frozen
: mixed veges; fresh apples, pears, mangos, watermelon, grapes, carrots,
: celery, bell pepper, raw sweet potato, cooked white potato; Leadbeaters. I
: make sure that I always sprinkle the supplement vitamins (Glider Booster and
: Rep-Cal) on their food regularly, as directed. "

: Betsy only took WHAT YOU SAID and commented on it.. Seems like a large descrepency between what was written and what was intended..

: : I do not overfeed in calcium and I don't even own Brisky's food. Mine is another Sugar Glider food.
: : I also alternate the diet of things that I mentioned. My Gliders pick at what they are interested in and never finish one whole item. I also have not bought Rep-Cal yet, so No I am not using it. I do use Glider Booster, AS DIRECTED. I do not sprinkle calcium or glider booster on Leadbeaters. I only give them Leadbeaters every now and then, because they don't seem to care for it much. I mostly feed them fruits, veges, crickets.
: : I do alot of reading and research and discussion on what I should be feeding them. I research the breeder webpages as well as have discussion with the breeder I bought from. And, as everyone can see, I ask for help when in doubt.
: : Thanks for all of the suggestions!
